thanks

I have a 97, bought it brand new in 99 I think. Got it for 1600 because it was a leftover. It was used as a trolling motor on the 22' walkaround I used to have. I asked about changing it to a 15, but too much stuff would need changing and I don't know enough about motors to do it myself. The 9,9 will be fine for this boat. Others that have built this model have used 15 hp motors on them and get more speed, but I think she will be fine even though I built it heavy, lots of epoxy and I glassed the bottom and put in floatation.

I can't wait to fish next to Got Stripers in a river sometime and try to outfish him
